Windows XP doesn't recognize 2nd hard drive

Asked by mraible in Windows XP Operating System

Tags: drive, hard, xp, windows, recognize

I have a lot of Windows experience, so please take that into consideration when offering a suggestion. I re-installed Windows this weekend, and I did it on a new hard drive. Clean install, formatted HD with NTFS. Everything works great. Now I'm trying to add my old hard drive and I'm not having any luck. My old hard drive is a 60 GB Maxtor 5T060H6 that I had partitioned had partitioned as 15 GB for C and the rest for D.

The second hard drive doesn't show up at all in My Computer. It does show up in Computer Management > Disk Management as Disk 1 with a Basic Partition of 15 GB. The only option I seem to have at this point is to make it a "dynamic disk" which I doubt will help. The drive shows up as 60 GB.

I tried using Partition Magic 7, but it only shows the entire disk and when I try to assign it a drive letter, it doesn't let me.

I'm sure my controllers are fine since I hooked up another hard drive I had (one partition) and was able to read/write to it.

Any ideas are appreciated - the data I'd like to get to is the second D drive. And I'll eventually wipe out the C partition as my new hard drive is fulfilling that need.
